OG Anunoby’s status for the New York Knicks’ Game 3 against the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday is a key talking point. Anunoby left Wednesday’s Game 2 late, leaving fans in panic as he seemingly hurt his right leg on a non-contact injury. The Knicks didn’t share an instant update on what limited Anunoby from playing.
However, on Wednesday, Anunoby was listed as questionable due to a right hamstring strain, as many predicted. It was evident by the looks of it as the forward started hopping around in pain while trying to cut to the rim on an offensive possession. Anunoby stuck around for a few seconds before calling for a sub.
A hamstring injury limited Anunoby last season as well in the conference finals against the Indiana Pacers. Given his impact this year as the team’s second-highest scorer, averaging 21.4 points and best defensive player, averaging 1.9 steals, there were significant concerns about the extent of his injury.
However, multiple reports indicated that OG Anunoby’s hamstring injury is “very minor.” The Knicks aren’t expecting him to take long to recover, and that’s why he could be questionable to play on Friday. Anunoby could be a game-time decision.
